The next day we learned a little about what there
was to do around the island after speaking with
one of many friendly resort staff members. Our
original plan was to take an ATV tour through
the jungle and visit Mayan Ruins, but we decided
we could get more use and value out of renting
a Yamaha Rhino 700 for the day. The ATV tour was
going to cost us $80 a person and the tour only
lasted 2 hours. We spent $65 to rent a Yamaha
Rhino 700 UTV / SxS for a whole 24 hours. Dollar
for dollar or Paso for Paso the UTV just made
for since. We scheduled our Yamaha Rhino UTV to
be delivered to the hotel around 9 AM the next
day.

There
were many pools to relax in at the hotel
including this vanishing edge pool

Unlike most of the US, in Cozumel you can ride
the Side-by-Sides on the road legally. The Yamaha
Rhino UTV actually came equip with road friendly
tires for less wear. There is only one main road
that makes a loop around the island, so it is
not easy to get lost. After we got some quick
instructions from our amigo from the rental place,
we started the engine and hit the road.

Driving
the Yamaha Rhino Side-by-Side though the
city can get pretty chaotic, but once you
get out the city it is an open road!

It took some getting used to driving on the streets
of Cozumel. For one, we were in an off-road machine
on the road, and two there are some “Loco”
drivers in Cozumel! If you are not an aggressive
driver you will get nowhere in the city. Luckily
there is a smaller side road that travels right
along the coast that is just wide enough to fit
a side-by-side down. Not only was this road easier
to navigate there was an awesome view of the ocean
and beaches.
